Cylinder

The cylinder is defined in its own coordinate system, with its axis along the z-axis. The lower circular face is centered at the origin in the plane z = 0, the upper one lies in the plane z = <height>.

Oblique views of (a) a cylinder with radius and height and (b) a truncated cone with lowerRadius, upperRadius and height; both have their axis along z and the origin at the centre of the lower face

Figure (a) shows the cylinder in its coordinate system, figure (b) a cone for comparison (coneType).
